Probably, but not about linux - (hnick) - Nov. 5, 2003, 11:01:56 AM EST

Software - (Andrew Grygus) - (6) - Nov. 5, 2003, 11:16:36 AM EST

It's possible the new games will have two executables. - (a6l6e6x) - (2) - Nov. 5, 2003, 10:40:08 AM EST

Old box was what, 500MHZ? - (Arkadiy) - Nov. 5, 2003, 10:44:12 AM EST

Another possibility - (tjsinclair) - Nov. 5, 2003, 10:47:28 AM EST
